ELEPHANTS AND TIGERS FALL FROM THE SKY AS MULDER AND SCULLY EXPLORE A SERIES OF ZOO ABDUCTIONS.

A rampage by an invisible force leads Mulder and Scully to a zoo where strange abductions may be taking place. In a zoo where no births have taken place in decades, Mulder and Scully seek evidence for alien involvement in human conservation efforts. Their search is obstructed by old rivalries and new betrayals, while humans and animals continue to die. Only a gorilla who can use sign language can interpret events for them -- and her time is running out.

Janitor: "They don't pay you to dance, Roberto... God is watching..."

Scully: "Mulder, if you're still suggesting that the elephant did this, it just defies logic. Somebody would have seen it."

Mulder: "Well if somebody would have seen it, Scully, we wouldn't be here."

Mulder: "I'd be willing to admit the possibility of a tornado, but it's not really tornado season. I'd even be willing to entertain the notion of a black hole passing over the area or some cosmic anomaly but it's not really black hole season either. If I were a betting man, I'd say it was ..."

Scully: "An invisible elephant?"

Mulder: "I saw David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear once."

Scully: "What'cha looking for, Mulder?"

Mulder: "Uhh... local paper. I wanna see if David Copperfield is in town."

Willa: "Elephants aren't particularly good jumpers, if that's what you're thinking..."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "How's your relationship with Ed Meacham?"

Willa: "I'm his boss and I'm a woman, and Ed doesn't like that much."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "And you consider that inhumane treatment?"

Kyle: "It's like you or I living in a pickle barrel."

____________________________________________________________

Kyle: "...All animals should run free."

Scully: "Even if that means trampling a man to death?"

Kyle: "Maybe he should have gotten out of the way."

Mulder: "I'm sure he would have if he had seen it coming."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder: "It's all happening at the zoo, Scully."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "And where are you going?"

Mulder: "To talk to the animals." (refering to the Lone Gunman)

Frohike: "Beam me up, Scotty."

Mulder: "Anybody ever tell you the camera loves you, Frohike?"

Frohike: "Yeah, the arresting officers at the free James Brown rally."

Byers: "So what's this costing the tax payers, Mulder?"

Mulder: "About one-hundred-fifty bucks an hour."

Frohike: "Ouch, almost as much as Bill Clinton's haircuts."

Mulder: "Where's Langley?"

Byers: "He had a philisophical issue with bouncing his image off a satellite."

(Mulder's cell-phone beeps)

Frohike: "If that's the lovely Agent Scully, let her know I've been working out...I'm buff!"

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "Is this who you wanted to speak with?" (meaning Sophie the ape)

Mulder: "It's basic investigative procedure, Agent Scully. Interview all the possible witnesses."

____________________________________________________________

(Scully is about to go inside the dead elephant, ewww!)

Scully: "I hope you know what you're getting us into, Mulder."

Mulder: "I'm pretty sure of what we're gonna find."

Scully: '"Cause this isn't exactly in my job description."

Mulder: "Ah, next thing you know they'll be doing it on MTV Sports."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "There's evidence of hyperplasia and the corpus luteum is ruptured."

Willa: "That's not possible."

Mulder: "Neither is an invisible elephant."

(after he kills the rampaging tiger)

Ed: "It's all right, Willa. They don't all talk and draw pictures."

____________________________________________________________

Willa: "Aliens impregnating zoo animals?"

Mulder: "Yes, and harvesting embryos."

Willa: "Why?"

Mulder: "Maybe their own Noah's ark? To preserve the DNA of these animals that we're depleting to extinction. Whatever it is, that's probably the reason why you've never had a successful birth at this facility."

Willa: "I think that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."

Mulder: "I understand that you might think it was ridiculous and maybe you should ask Sophie..."

____________________________________________________________

Scully: "I was looking for a pen to finish my report in Willa's office. I found this in a drawer. "

Mulder: "It's a Small World After All..."

____________________________________________________________

Mulder:(showing the hand gestures Sophie used) "What does this mean?"

Willa: "It doesn't make any sense....Man....Save....Man..."

Mulder's closing monologue:

"Willa Ambrose and Ed Meecham have been charged with manslaughter for the death of Kyle Lang. But though the courts will rule on this matter and justice will no doubt be served, the pall of a greater tragedy remains. The motives of the silent visitors who set these events in motion remain unclear. Could this be a judgement on a global rate of extinction that incurs to over 1000 times its natural rate in this century? Knack of alien conservation of animals we are driving hard toward oblivion? And if so, might it follow, that our own fate could finally be determined by the conservatorship of an extraterrestrial race? More, in the simple words of a creature whose own future is uncertain, will man save man?"
